Architecture, old or new, is art in its boldest terms. A huge skyscraper that looms over bustling streets or a glass-walled living room perched far out over troubled waters each represent the bravery and elegance of architecture.
Around Alaska there are some really incredible pieces of architectural brilliance that deserve to be noted, not only for their beauty, but for the skill it took to bring such a thing into existence. So please enjoy some of these really amazing works of architecture that are scattered around our equally amazing state.
